ReplyDelete: the opinions or actions of people who believe that a country should use military methods, forces, etc., to gain power and to achieve its goals Meriam-Webster
Yes the military has achieved a lot of good work and the trained personnel are some of the finest most disciplined human beings, but when a government focuses on military might as its operational ego, the people of that nation often fail to pay attention to the needs of its citizens. In fact feelings and relationships are subsumed under duty. A civil society could operate on the needs of families (living wages, day care, women's rights, protection of the law, and services that keep us from desperate acts such as mental health care when needed.)
